Regulatory Resources

NSF was originally established as the National Sanitation Foundation in 1944 at the University of Michigan School of Public Health as an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization. The mission of NSF International is to protect public health, a mission we share with regulatory agencies and personnel whose job is to do the same.

Regulators play a critical role in NSF standards development, conformity assessment programs, training and technical services through cooperation, collaboration and partnership.

The mission of the Regulatory Affairs experts at NSF is to support the legislative, regulatory and academic communities and to help them fulfill their public health protection responsibilities.
Let NSF be a resource to you!

NSF International was founded as the National Sanitation Foundation in 1944, but we changed our name to NSF International in 1990 as we expanded our services beyond sanitation and into global markets. The letters NSF do not represent any specific words today.

A public notice is a process by which NSF informs the public, industry, and regulatory communities of a non-conformance of public health significance found in a listed product that is not corrected. These notices are generally performed through the use of publications, press releases, and website notification.
